Text area not obvious when creating New talk page on MF with MinervaB
Closed, ResolvedPublic0 Estimated Story Points

Description

On mobile front end, when creating a new talk page (using the create this page link from the message There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or create this page.) displays the Toolbar but the text area is not immediately obvious to the user. This may however give ( on first impression ) that it is not there unless they do a few clicks around the tool bar (for those who are aware that there ought to be a text area below).

Steps to reproduce

  • Install the MF extension and the MinervaNeue skin
  • Try to create a new talk page
  • Confirm that the toolbox is immediately noticeable but the textbox is not ( like other skins where the border is seen around it.)

Suggestion

In edit mode, the text area could be given something like`autofocus` so that the cursor immediately makes it visible and obvious.

Styling the toolbox section to be more visible and obvious to the user.

Can you provide some more details?
When I visit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Sandwichdjassaj&action=edit I see the talk page edit area quite clearly.

I'm still not able to replicate this bug.
@Eugene233 some screenshots would also be useful.

It would also be good to clarify how it works in comparison to the beta cluster: https://en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Headings

Jdlrobson moved this task from Bugs to TODO on the MinervaNeue board.
